Shai is the MVP wake up!!!!!!
We’re good, eh?
They’re here.
Thunder are tougggggh. Crazy depth.
Damn, this team is looking legit
This shit means so much to me yall, I have been here since 08 and I never thought we’d build this again
SGA giving me those old school KD vibes by sleep walking to 40. Very quiet.
Oklahoma City Spooky
I think the Thunder might be a good basketball team, folks
On their recent 5 game stretch, the Thunder CONVINCINGLY beat the Clippers, Wolves, Knicks, and Nuggets.
These games were not close. They are legit.
Nuggets lost to the Thunder in Denver, won six in a row, and then lost to the Thunder in Denver. we might be legit
So Shai has a real shot at MVP this year, yeah?
Guys, we might be not tanking anymore.

Look at Shai man
This team is so fucking good
Shai said he wanted his nuggets well-done tonight
This is one of the quintessential incredibly frustrating Jokic games that’s part of the Jokic experience.
Jokic took 10 shots today (made 9). Took as many as Reggie Jackson. Less than MPJ. Less than Murray. Less than *Peyton Watson*.
I understand always making sure your teammates get their shots up and I understand this is regular season game 34 of 82, but why do you insist on continuing to let Jamal and MPJ play terrorist ball after watching them play terrorist ball all evening?
Today we spell MVP, SGA.
It’s time
My criticism for this game is that Jokic spent to much time trying to get Murray and Co. open looks and shots when they were super ice cold.
He legit froze himself out and stopped shooting and kept getting caught looking for the pass. He needed to take over this game in scoring and he just didn’t.
Anyway OKC is mega scary if Chet keeps hitting shots like he did tonight.
Black eye of the league. Adam Silver should do something about these teams tanking with no end in sight. SGA is having his career wasted perpetually tanking
Dort had Murray in HELL
Hm so is Josh back lol. He had a couple of bank shots this game
The nuggets announcers said the thunder hide sga (the steals leader in the nba) on defence 💀
It legit feels like chet gets better every single game, and he loves these big marquee games. Also shai with what felt like the quietest 40ball of the season. Okc is super fun to watch
I can see both SGA and Chet being top 5 players in their prime (SGA is performing like one already), which is pretty scary.
The oldest player on this team is 25 years old. Not counting Micic and Bertans. Most are 21 and 22, crazy to think this team is blowing out 1 and 2 seeds.
there isn’t another move for OKC to make if we’re gonna play this well lol. you let this ride, and the growth will come from the natural improvement of dudes with 1-2 years of NBA experience.
we have the culture. we have the scheme. we have the flexibility. and we obviously have the talent.
all we need is experience and time to grow. shortcutting this process and adding your favorite nba trade target is just as likely to lower the ceiling of this team than raise it at this point in time.
we can come back to this in the summer (and the season after that).
West is a bloodbath this season. Holy shit these OKC guys are THAT good.
Incredible adjustments made by the Thunder since that 1st game. Can’t believe they out-rebounded Denver. Energy and focus was lacking from the Nuggets tonight on a back to back, but this game was a lot more about everything OKC did right.
